Solution

The correct option is D Huxley
‘Protoplasm is the physical basis of life’ was stated by Huxley. This is because the protoplasm is the matrix or the substratum where we find all the organelles of the cell suspended and is the medium for all the activities of the cell.

Carl Linnaeus is the ‘Father of taxonomy’ and is famous for his immense contribution to the biological classification of living organisms.

R.H. Whittaker is responsible for the proposal of the five-kingdom classification of all living organisms.

Robert Hooke discovered the cell while studying the cork cells.
